This chapter is a successful student organization composed of over 30 members. Many of these students are currently conducting laboratory research in chemistry, biology, chemical biology, and biochemistry related fields. ACS-UNM provides funding, networking, and local research opportunities to our members; we seek to aid our friends and peers in the chemistry-related fields so as to enrich their undergraduate experience and strengthen their future careers in science. We have a proud outreach program that helps to expose children in local elementary schools to the scientific method and basic chemistry concepts through chemical demonstrations. Our members also volunteer at the ¡Explora! science museum where they lead guests of all ages in hands-on experimental activities. Through laboratory notebook sales and fundraising we donate money to local charities and mentoring organizations. Our chapter at UNM believes that enthusiasm, passion, and networking are essential trademarks for a successful researcher.
